Tortilla Soup with Black Beans

I have to say I just LOVE my Martha Stewart Everyday Food!! I am not currently getting it, but I have about 3 years worth of them and I'm still trying out (and loving) new recipes.

This was is SO easy and quick....great for a busy weeknight!

Here's what you need:

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) diced tomatoes in juice

2 cans (15 oz. each) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14 1/2 oz.) reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 package (10 oz.) frozen corn kernels

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 cup crushed tortilla chips, plus more for serving

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Cook garlic and chili powder until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes (with juice), beans, broth, corn, and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper.

Bring soup to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Add tortilla chips; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve soup with lime wedges and, if desired, more chips.
